Since EBIT is not necessarily indicative of cash flow, many financial analysts adjust the formulation by: a. adding unpaid taxes to EBIT in the TIE formula b. adding unpaid taxes and interest to EBIT in the formula c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula d. adding unpaid taxes, interest and depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Answer: c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Explanation:
The Times Interest Earned Ratio is used to measure the ease by which a company can pay its interest charges using its earnings before tax.
As depreciation is a non-cash expense, the amount apportioned to depreciation can be used when paying for interest so adding it back to the EBIT ensures that the cash resources of the company are included in the analysis of whether a company can pay back debt.
Kyle, a single taxpayer, worked as a freelance software engineer for the first three months of 2020. During that time, he earned $76,000 of self-employment income. On April 1, 2020, Kyle took a job as a full-time software engineer with one of his former clients, Hoogle Inc. From April through the end of the year, Kyle earned $196,000 in salary. What amount of FICA taxes (self-employment and employment related) does Kyle owe for the year
Answer:
$18,943.40
Explanation:
FICA taxes when Kyle was self employed = $76,000 x 15.3% = $11,628
Social security taxes while employed = ($137,700 - $76,000) x 6.2% = $3,825.40
Medicare taxes while employed = [($200,000 - $76,000) x 1.45%] + [($196,000 + $76,000 - $200,000) x 2.35%] = $1,798 + $1,692 = $3,490
Total FICA taxes = $18,943.40

Jenny, who is married and the mother of three, is 25 years old and expects to work until 70. She earns $45,000 per year. Jenny expects inflation to be 3% over her working life, and the appropriate risk-free discount rate is 5%. Her personal consumption is equal to 25% of her after-tax earnings, and her combined federal and state marginal tax bracket is 15%. What is the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method
Answer:
$855,903.20
Explanation:
Real discounting rate=> i= [i'-f]/[1+f]. Where i is the real interest rate. i' is the nominal interest rate which is given as 5% and f is the rate of inflation
i = (5%-3%)/1+3%)
i = 2/1.3
i = 1.94%
Her after tax earnings = 45,000*(1-0.15) = $38,250
Personal consumption = 25% of this, 38,250*0.75 = $28,688.
We are discounting her earnings back 45 years at 1.94%. The equation will be: 28,688 * {1-(1+0.01940)^-45} / {0.01940}
= 28,688 * {1 - 0.42120322099] / 0.01940
= 28,688 * 29.83488551597938
= 855903.1956824165
= $855,903.20
So, the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method is $855,903.20

$5.50 = $1.05 / (Re + 10%)
Re = 19% - 10% = 9%
Iccarus Inc.
$275.80 = $3.10 / (Re - 14%)
Re = 1.1% + 14% = 15.1%
Simpson LLC.
$94.30 = $3.00 / (Re - 10%)
Re = 3.2% + 10% = 13.2%

The corporate charter of Alpaca Co. authorized the issuance of 10 million, $1 par common shares. During 2021, its first year of operations, Alpaca had the following transactions:
January 1 sold 8 million shares at $15 per share
June 3 retired 2 million shares at $18 per share
December 28 sold 2 million shares at $20 per share
What amount should Alpaca report as additional paid-in capital—excess of par, in its December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
A. $104 million
B. $6 million
C. $52 million
D. $208 million
Answer:
Alpaca Co.
The amount that Alpaca should report as additional paid-in capital, in excess of par, in its December 31, 2021 balance sheet is:
= $116 million
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Authorized share capital = 10 million, $1 par common shares
Transactions during the year:
Date Number of shares issued Price Common Stock Additional
January 1 sold 8 million shares at $15 $8 million $112 million
June 3 retired 2 million shares at $18 (2 million) (34 million)
December 28 sold 2 million shares $20 2 million 38 million
Total $10 million $116 million
b) Additional paid-in capital represents the excess capital that is received above the par value of the shares issued. When the retired shares (treasury stock) are accounted for using the cash method, the additional capital is stated less the treasury stock's excess issue value. When the par value method is used, a treasury stock account is created separately so that the two adjustments to the treasury stock account are reflected differently.
If a firm offers a service that is valuable, rare, and costly to imitate, but a substitute exists for the service, the firm will: a. achieve competitive parity. b. have a competitive disadvantage. c. have a temporary competitive advantage. d. gain a sustainable competitive advantage.
Answer:
c. have a temporary competitive advantage
Explanation:
In this case, it is correct to say that the company has a temporary competitive advantage, as there is a substitute for its valuable, rare and expensive service to imitate.
The company gained a competitive advantage in the market for being the only one to offer that service, which by the attributes confer barriers of entry for new competitors, but when there is a substitute for the service and that have the same characteristics, it is correct to say that the company it will lose its competitive advantage in a matter of time, because with more competitors in the market it is common for there to be some loss of market share, so in this case it is ideal for the company to adapt and seek new attributes to innovate, generate more value for consumers and so seek a differential that will guarantee you a higher position in the market.

b. A Venezuelan-style economic collapse would be less likely in a mixed economy like the United States because
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused.
b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.
c. mixed economies like the United States usually have a more equal distribution of income.
d. inflation is always low in a mixed economy.
Answer:
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused. b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.Explanation:
Venezuela is a planned / command economy which means that the government directs production of goods and services in the country. This can lead to corruption as those in government would become quite powerful and engage in activities that would make them richer at the expense of the nation because they will have the required access to do so.
As the government directs most things, there is less private industry and competition. With a lack of competition, companies will not see the need to compete and would end up being inefficient.
These are what happened in Venezuela.

Two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive
process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation
include:
Answer:
task performance and group maintenance.
Explanation:
Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.
This ultimately implies that, beyond an individual possessing the traits or qualities of a leader, leadership in itself is a process that revolves around the activities or happenings between the leader and those who he or she is leading, which are the followers. Thus, leadership is simply a continuous process and it's transactional in nature because it occurs between a leader and the followers.
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.
Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive power, etc.
Hence, two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation include task performance and group maintenance.
Leaders are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the follower performs his or her duties or tasks as stated in the contract and to foster cohesion among the various team members.
Mcewan Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 48,000 direct labor-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $307,200, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $2.80 per direct labor-hour. Job X941, which was for 50 units of a custom product, was recently completed. The job cost sheet for the job contained the following data:
Total direct labor-hours 300
Direct materials $600
Direct labor cost $6,400
Required:
Calculate the selling price for Job X941 if the company marks up its unit product costs by 20%.
Answer:
$234.24 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the selling price for Job X941 is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be determined
The Predetermined overhead rate is
= Variable overhead per DLH + Fixed overhead per DLH
= $2.80 + ($307,200 ÷ 48,000)
= $9.2 per DLH
Now the Total cost of Job X941 is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $600 + $6,400 + (300 × $10)
= $9,760
And, finally
The Selling price per unit of Job X941 is
= Unit product costs × 120%
= ($9,760 ÷ 50) × 120%
= $234.24 per unit
National defense is a good that is non excludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that, instead of national defense being paid with tax dollars, national defense is paid by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia.
Alan, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national defense budget Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Alan. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10. Every $1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense, leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.25. This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.50 to Latvia as a whole.
Suppose that, instead of relying on voluntary contributions, the government simply levies a tax of $10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Alan be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10 instead of contributing voluntarily?
If Alan is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number.
Answer:
Alan is better off by $15

= 10*10
=$100
each persons valuation = 100*0.25
= $25
$25 is also Alans valuation sice he is a part of this population.
since he contribited $10, his net gain would be
$25.00 - $10.00
= $15.00
Alan is better of by $15 in the tax system.

Month Kilometres Driven Van Operating Costs
January 16,000 $5,490
February 17,500 5,700
March 14,900 4,910
April 16,200 5,340
May 16,900 5,820
June 15,100 5,410
July 14,500 4,920
High-Low Method:
February 17,500 5,700
July 14,500 4,920
Difference 3,000 780
Variable cost per unit = $780/3,000 = $0.26
Total variable cost at February figures = $4,550 (17,500 * $0.26)
Total fixed costs at February figures = $1,150 ($5,700 - $4,550)
Operating cost equation = $0.26x + $1,150
Operating cost at a volume of 16,000 = $1,150 + $0.26 * 16,000
= $1,150 + 4,160
= $5,310

Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.
Solution :
Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :
-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.
-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.
-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.
Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer

Assume that [tex]r_1[/tex] will be a 12-month for the spot rate:
[tex]\to 1.25 \% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(1.25\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to \frac{1.25}{2} \times 0.99 + \frac{(\frac{1.25}{2} +100)}{(1+\frac{r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 0.625 +100)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{( 100.625)}{(\frac{2+r_1}{2})^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\to 0.61875 + \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}=98\\\\\to 0.61875 -98 = \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to -97.38125= \frac{402.5}{(2+r_1)^2}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= \frac{402.5}{ -97.38125}\\\\\to (2+r_1)^2= -4.13\\\\ \to r_1=3.304\%[/tex]
Assume that [tex]r_2[/tex] will be a 18-month for the spot rate:
[tex]\to 1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{3.300\%}{2})^2}+\frac{(1.5\% \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\\to \frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times 0.99+\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2} \times \frac{1}{(1+ \frac{\frac{3.300}{100}}{2})^2}+\frac{(\frac{1.5}{100} \times \frac{100}{2}+100)}{(1+\frac{r_2}{2})^3}=97\\\\[/tex]

Crowding-out is the notion that:_________
a. Since tax revenues vary directly with GDP, a rise in the level of GDP will increase the budget surplus and limit expansion
b. Deficit financing will increase the demand for money, increase the interest rate, and reduce the level of investment spending in the economy
c. The standardized budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out investment
d. The actual budget is the best indicator of whether a budget deficit crowds out saving
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The theory of crowding out is that as government spending and borrowing increases, the demand for money would increase. This would lead to an increase in interest rate. As a result, the level of investment spending would decline. The theory submits that increased government spending would drive down private spending
Hyu Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 52,400 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.82 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,196,840. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 53,000 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year would be $25.66
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is computed as;
= Total estimated manufacturing overhead / estimated direct labor
Where;
Total estimated manufacturing overhead = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead + estimated variable manufacturing overhead rate × estimated labor hours
= $1,196,840 + $2.82 × 52,400
= $1,196,840 + $147,768
= $1,344,608
Therefore,
Predetermined rate = $1,344,608 / 52,400 hours
Predetermined rate = $25.66
